Automating intersection modeling

- Now that we understand the basics…of modeling an intersection, we're going to look at a tool…that will automate much of the work for us.…I'm speaking of the Create Intersection Wizard.…Let's take a look.…On my screen I have several Civil 3D components…that we'll use to build an intersection.…In fact, these are the same object we used earlier…when we built the manual intersection.…Let's zoom in.…Right here I have an existing ground surface called EG.…Here, I have alignments called Primary_St.…I also have an intersecting alignment called Second_St.…

If I drag this over, you can see that I have created…finish grade profiles for both of these alignments,…and I've ensured that the profiles intersect…at the same 3D elevation.…Let's zoom back over to the intersection.…To create the intersection, I'm going to move up…to the Create Design panel.…I'll open the Intersection menu and I'll choose…Create Intersection.…I will then select the intersection of the two alignments.…This brings up the Create Intersection Wizard.…

Civil 3D is the industry standard for civil infrastructure projects, allowing engineers and planners to build and verify designs before ever breaking ground. In this course, author Jeff Bartels will take you through everything you need to know to be successful using Civil 3D. Learn how to manage design data and points, model existing surfaces, generate lot geometry, model roadways, incorporate utilities, and address common site grading challenges. Jeff also shows how to prepare designs for construction using Civil 3D's automated sheet creation tools.
